Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Get the old 2014 model says this reviewer. UN24H4500AFXZA is the 2014 model. UN24M4500AFXZA is the 2017 model. One letter different, thanks for that Samsung. The easiest way to tell the difference is by the number of legs. One big leg in the middle is the 2014 model. Two legs, one at each end, is the 2017 model. There is a lot of confusion about the two. For example, the Best Buy employee I spoke with tried to convince me they were the same TV. Incorrect. You can search both on the Samsung website. The display itself should be very similar, although I think the new model claims better color. The new model loses a USB port, loses optical audio output and 3.5mm stereo audio output, gets 5w speakers instead of 3w, gains wifi direct, gains ARC technology over HDMI. The new features are nice but personally I think that the port-less TVs that are so prolific these days are silly. I would say for new buyers, go for the 2014 model and plug in some stereo PC speakers for better sound. Wifi direct is only for using a mobile device with it if I understand correctly. ARC technology is just for convenience with reducing the number of remotes in some cases and with making powering on/off devices require fewer steps.
